The Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee would like to make a request of local knitters and crocheters. They want 8,000 hand-knit or -crocheted scarves for their Super Bowl XLVI volunteers.

The scarves should be in white and royal blue, between 6" and 8" and at least 70" long. If you want to include a picture in your pattern, please make it a generic symbol like a football, but no team logos.

For those of you who don't put that crochet hook down in favor of gardening and yardwork, here is a light, piecework idea that is more portable than an unfinished afghan.

At the last Crochet Klatch meeting, I had a request for a doily pattern. If you don't mind working with a smaller hook and fine cotton thread, a doily is lightweight and airy. It won't make your lap hot while you work.
